Your conclusion about there being some extra prefix is premature.

That's just the number of the history entry, padded up to 5 characters 
with spaces for better alignment (as in

     printf("% 5d", ...)

Your cygwin was much fewer entries in the history of that particular 
shell instance, thus the number had only two digits. Your comparison 
target has accumulated much more history, thus the number has 4 digits.
